“He Helps Us Remember”

📖 “…and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.”
 —John 14:26b (NKJV)

Have you ever forgotten something important, like your homework or your shoes? It happens to all of us!

But guess what? When it comes to God’s Word, the Holy Spirit helps us remember the things Jesus said.

That means if you’ve read a Bible verse or heard something true about God, the Holy Spirit can bring it back to your mind right when you need it—especially when you’re scared, sad, or unsure what to do.

He reminds us that God loves us, that we can trust Him, and that we’re never alone.

Think About It:

  • What’s one Bible verse you remember when you’re afraid or sad?
  • Could that be the Holy Spirit helping you?

Prayer:
 Holy Spirit, thank You for helping me remember what Jesus said. I want to know His words and follow them every day. Amen.

“The Holy Spirit Is Our Teacher”

📖 “He will teach you all things…”
 —John 14:26a (NKJV)

Have you ever had a teacher help you learn something that seemed really hard at first? Maybe it was reading, math, or tying your shoes. Once you had someone show you how—it got easier, right?

Well, Jesus gave us a special Teacher to help us learn about God’s truth—and that’s the Holy Spirit!

The Holy Spirit helps you understand the Bible, remember God’s love, and know how to do the right thing when you’re not sure. He’s always with you, even when no one else is around.

So the next time you’re reading your Bible or facing a big decision, stop and pray: “Holy Spirit, will You teach me?”
 He loves it when you ask.

Think About It:

  • What’s something you’ve learned about God this week?
  • How do you think the Holy Spirit helps you understand?

Prayer:
 Holy Spirit, thank You for being my Teacher. Help me listen and learn what is true. I want to know God better every day. Amen.

“The Holy Spirit Shares What Belongs to Jesus”

📖 “He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.”
 —John 16:14b (NKJV)

Have you ever had a friend share something special with you—like a toy or a fun secret? It makes you feel close, right?

The Bible tells us the Holy Spirit shares with us what belongs to Jesus!

That means He helps us understand the love Jesus has for us. He helps us know the truth about what’s right and wrong. He helps us remember Bible verses and how to follow Jesus every day.

The Holy Spirit never keeps Jesus a secret—He helps us know Him better and love Him more!

Think About It:

“The Holy Spirit Knows What’s Coming”

📖 “And He will tell you things to come.”
 —John 16:13c (NKJV)

Have you ever been surprised by something—like a test at school or a change of plans? It can feel scary not knowing what’s coming next.

But guess what? The Holy Spirit is never surprised. He knows everything that’s going to happen, and He can help prepare your heart.

Sometimes He gives you a little feeling that something important is coming. Or He might help you remember a Bible verse that gives you peace when things change.

When you stay close to God, you don’t have to be afraid of the future. You have the Holy Spirit, and He knows exactly what’s ahead.

Think About It:

  • What helps you feel calm when you don’t know what’s going to happen?
  • Can you ask the Holy Spirit to help you trust God more?

Prayer:
 Holy Spirit, thank You for knowing what’s coming. Help me to trust You, even when I don’t understand. I know You will take care of me. Amen.

“The Holy Spirit Speaks What God Says”

📖 “He will not speak on His own… He will speak only what He hears.”
 —John 16:13b (NKJV)

Have you ever played the game “telephone,” where someone whispers a message and it gets passed around? Sometimes the message gets all mixed up. But when the Holy Spirit speaks, He never gets it wrong.

That’s because the Spirit only says what God the Father tells Him to say. He never makes mistakes or changes the message. He speaks truth—straight from God!

When you read your Bible or pray, the Holy Spirit helps you understand what God is saying. You can trust His voice because He is always honest and always loving.

Think About It:

  • How can you tell if something is really from God?
  • Are you asking the Holy Spirit to help you listen?

Prayer:
 Dear Holy Spirit, thank You for speaking only what God says. Help me to listen to Your voice and follow You. Amen.

“The Holy Spirit Shows Me What’s True”

📖 “The Spirit of truth… will guide you into all truth.”
 —John 16:13a (NKJV)

Sometimes it’s hard to know what’s right and what’s wrong. People say different things. Friends might act one way, but you’re not sure it’s okay.

That’s why Jesus gave us the Holy Spirit. He is the Spirit of truth. He helps us know what is right, and He shows us the right way to go.

When you read the Bible, pray, or even think about what to do, the Holy Spirit is there to guide your heart. He helps you follow Jesus, even when it’s hard.

Think About It:

  • Can you think of a time you needed to know what was right?
  • Did you ask the Holy Spirit to help you choose?

Prayer:
 Holy Spirit, please guide me into truth. Help me know what is right and give me the strength to do it. I want to follow You. Amen.

“The Holy Spirit Helps Me Remember God’s Word”

📖 “He will remind you of all things that I said to you.”
 —John 14:26b (NKJV)

Have you ever heard a Bible verse in Sunday school or during bedtime, and then remembered it later when you needed it? That’s not just your brain working—that’s the Holy Spirit helping you!

Jesus said the Holy Spirit would remind us of the things He taught. That means when you hear or read the Bible, the Spirit helps you remember it at just the right time.

If you’re feeling afraid, He might remind you that Jesus said, “Do not be afraid.”
 If you’re being mean, He might remind you, “Be kind to one another.”

The Holy Spirit wants to help you follow Jesus—and remembering God’s Word is a big part of that!

Think About It:

  • What is one Bible verse you remember right now?
  • Can you think of a time the Holy Spirit helped you remember a verse?

“The Holy Spirit Helps Me Grow Good Fruit”

📖 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control…”
 —Galatians 5:22–23 (NKJV)

That’s how the Holy Spirit works in you! When you believe in Jesus, He gives you the Holy Spirit—and the Spirit helps you grow good things inside your heart, like love, joy, patience, and more.

These are called the fruit of the Spirit. You don’t have to try really hard to grow them by yourself. Just stay close to Jesus and let the Holy Spirit help you change little by little.

When you’re kind when it’s hard, or patient when you want to be mad—that’s fruit growing!
